Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The North Eastern Fever Hospital was opened by the Metropolitan Asylums Board on 8 October 1892 to treat patients suffering from fever and diphtheria. It was situated in Saint Ann's Road, South Tottenham, London N15. In 1930 the London County Council took over the running of the hospital from the Metropolitan Asylums Board. In 1948 it became part of the National Health Service under the control of the North East Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board and Tottenham Hospital Management Committee. The hospital was renamed Saint Ann's General Hospital in 1949 or 1950. From 1982 it was the responsibility of Haringey Health Authority. It is now part of the Haringey NHS services.
